Now if you want to Grump me about the story I'm open and all game to that,. Another Story written and Created by: R. Reinhardt, Amateur Station Call Sign: KF4SQL E-Mail: Knight-Rider-2000@Juno.Com [ Unknown About Discovery ] Its been over a year since Brian had last made contact with Xena and Gabrielle again when they had been giving KITT by Brian's mother to defeat KARR with and Callisto is almost ready to take and swear oath to the Q continuum and after that she'll be made and turned into a member of the Q continuum,. But in the process of all of this it has been learned and found out about Brian's Violations of some of the prime directives by bringing back Xena's son Solen and Gabrielle's husband Perdicas and the Centaur that toke care of Solen and also his attempts to bring back Callisto's mother and sister back from the afterlife only to have them both tell him they wanted to be returned in which case he did after having worked out a compromise with them to except Callisto as their own blood again sometime in the future,. and Brian had also Violated another rule or directive by the joining of Xena, Gabrielle and Callisto along with himself so they could see and hear into each others souls and minds and forgive each other for their short comings. Now Brian has been brought up on Charges for his actions, He's been charged with Five counts of violating the Prime Directive for Returning Five mortals from the After life,. Three Counts of joining with mortals / humans,. But this has also started a vary big controversy by its self due to the fact that they should have been aware of it at the time it occurred and not much later on,. And it has also split the counsel too, That has eight members and one leader that preside on it, Making the total of nine Q's,. and other Q's have sided with Brian stating that the Council had Agreed not to either interfere nor hold him accountable for anything that he did down their,. but the other half of the continuum has said that he wasn't given nor granted the right to Violate the prime directive's either by that ruling and have asked for Brian's permanent banishment from the continuum forever,. and the Council has adjourned for the day and will continue tomorrow with the proceedings,. So far Brian has maintained that he felt he was fully justified by his actions and also to the fact that they weren't to hold him accountable for anything during this mission,. This so far has been leading to minor but now growing Civil Unrest among Q's in the continuum and could even plunge in to a Civil War among his kind if he's found Guilty by the half that's supports brian and the other half that doesn't in the event he's found not guilty of the charges against him,. Later on Brian is with Callisto and tells her she may have to complete some of his mission by leading Zeus and the others of her kind into the continuum after she's been made a member of the Q, since it may not be possible for him to do that now,. Callisto says, Brian I'm with you and their are others who stand behind you too,. Brian says, I don't want to be the Cause of a Civil War among my own kind... I never ever have those intentions in mind,. Callisto says, I understand that but they themselfs had agreed, before you even entered my old world not to hold you accountable for any of your actions..... Only now they are starting to go back on their own words,. Brian says, but they didn't intend for me to do something like what I had done either,. Callisto says, They should be made to hold up to what they had originally ruled out in the first place regardless of what has happened or what directives were broken or violated in the process,. Brian says, I know but, All I want you to do now is complete that part of my mission for me if I can't,. I'll take care of the other parts regardless of the outcome of this.. If I'm banished or not,. and Callisto agrees to take over that part of his mission if in fact he is banished from the continuum,. That she'll guide and lead Zeus and the others into a new existence here among the Q since the continuum has acknowledged that Zeus and the others are in fact lost decedents from the other half of the original family that had broken off and went their own way,. They are also the long lost link and roots of the Continuum that's been sought out for a vary long time, And Since its now proven that they in fact can change their ways after seeing one of the worst among Zeus and Ares kind "Callisto" who could change they figured that they can also,. Brian is in dismay with himself now,. He tells Callisto just remember everything that I've showed you my dear and you'll be fine,. Callisto can tell that Brian is somewhat despondent over this pardicerment too,. Brian says, I'm not going to stay here right now and wait for tomorrow,. and then he flashes and disappears to no where,. Callisto is wondering where has he gone off to and then another flash happens,. Its Brian's Uncle Q who has appeared, Q says, you know this is almost just as much my fault as it is his,. Callisto says, What do you mean by that ?,. Q says, If I hadn't had pushed him that day, he'd would nearer have bought any of them back from the Afterlife,. Callisto says, yeah but the big question is how come they only found out about that after learning only part of it threw me and you and his mother,. Q says, That's a good question they should have known about it right after it happened... Its like some one didn't want them to know at the time,. Callisto says, Or something didn't want them to know right way,. Q says, I remember that day,. And even with your friends Ares and the others we suspected that their might have been another force at work ... But their wasn't anyway we could confirm that or not,. Callisto says, Yeah I remember every one talking about that,. But now ware has brain gone off to ?,. Q says, If I'm not mistaken, I believe he's gone off back in time to tell Xena and the others good bye or something like that,. Callisto says, What do you think he's going to do then ?,. Q says, I suspect that tomorrow he's going to take a stand and plead Guilty on all charges against him and ask to be banished from the Continuum,. Callisto says, But why is he going to do that ?,. Q says, To prevent a Civil War form breaking out... That's why,. Callisto says, Their more to it then that isn't their ?,. Q says, Yes but I'm not a freedom to disclose that to any one right now,. Meanwhile,. Brian has appeared in the Centaur village ware Xena and the others reside at now,. They recognize him right away because of the Burgundy Starfleet Uniform that he has on once again,. Some of the Centaurs Greet him with open hands and welcome him now,. Brian ask, Is Xena here... I've got a few things to tell her about whats happened and is going to happen now, I've just come to say farewell that's is all,. The Centaurs can tell that brian seems a little down right now and take him over to ware Xena and Gabrielle are at,. They meet now Xena along with Solen and the Centaur, They were out fishing that day,. Gabrielle and Perdicas were also in company too,. Xena says, Oh Brian what a nice and pleasant unexpected surprise for you to appear today,. But Xena and the others have caught on that Brian isn't actually in a socializing mood and looks kind of on the downside of moods too,. Gabrielle says, Brian what wrong ?,. Brian says, Whats wrong oh... Its nothing that's wrong with any of you,. Xena says, Oh I know you better then that... If it isn't us then it has something to do with you,. Brian says, I can't trouble you with my problems due to the fact Their isn't anything anyone of you can do about it,. I've only come to inform you that Callisto will carry on and continue and complete my mission for me soon,. Due to the fact I'm going to be doing something else for now on,. Xena says, I don't understand that.... I thought you were supposed to have been the one to see it threw to its completion ?,. Brian says, Yes I was but the circumstances and the situation has changed for me.... I have something else now to do,. He continues, But My uncle along with Callisto will see to it that some of my original plans are see to and carried out for me,. Xena looks to Gabrielle and then says, Brian we can both tell that their is more to it then that,. Gabrielle says, Isn't their ?,. Brian says, Their is but I'm not willing to talk to anyone here about it... I've only come to say and wish you all farewell we will not see nor meet each other again after today,. Gabrielle says, Your telling us that we aren't going to see you ever again... Why ?,. Brian says, Its a long story, That I'm not getting into nor am I going trouble you with,. Then he hugs Gabrielle and then Xena and then looks over to Solen and the Centaur and then to Perdicas and then back to Gabrielle and Xena and says, It was well worth it... And then he Says, Farewell and disappears,. Gabrielle says, Xena I think he's in some kind of trouble with his kind for something he did here,. Xena says, Yeah and you know what I think it is don't you ?,. Gabrielle says, Something to do with us,. Xena says, Yeah you got that right on the mark Gabby, I think that his people have found out about some of the things he did here on his first encounter with us,. Gabrielle thinks it over now and says, They have found out about him violating .... How did they put it,. Xena says, I know,... his peoples or Kinds Prime Directives by bringing mortals back from the afterlife or underworld,. Gabrielle says, and Even his own Uncle didn't know what the punishment was if any of his kind were to do something like that, because none of them is known to have ever done something like that before,. Xena says, But I could tell he doesn't want us getting evolved with this because what could any of us do here for him we have no way to get into that Continuum of his anyways,. Gabrielle says, Or he could be to proud to ask for help from us,. Xena says, That could also be another possibility too,.. But I bet we will be hearing or seeing our friend Callisto soon,. So In the meantime We better try and figure out some kind of plan and when Callisto shows up to try and get more information about whats going on in that Continuum place where they are living in,. Meanwhile, Brian has transported himself in the Zeus's realm to inform him that Callisto will sometime in the future will be arriving to carry on his mission,. Zeus says, Young soul I can tell your troubled by something even if your different from us, care to talk about it ?,. Brian says, Even thou you and your kind didn't evolve on like we have your quite wise anyways,. Yes I might was well tell you whats troubling me,. Zeus says, Ok i'm listening now,. Brian says, Its about what I did the first time when I had met your sons Hercules and Ares, A long with Xena,. Zeus says, Its something to do with your actions that time isn't it ?,. Brian says, Yes... Its over me bringing back five mortals from the Afterlife, Zeus says, You knew even then that you were breaking some of the rules.. I have heard the story from my Daughter Aphrodite... She told me all about it,. Brian says, What I did in the process of doing that is, I had or have Violated one of our highest Prime Directives and I am the only one ever known among my kind for doing that,. Zeus says, Do you or Did you know what the punishment or consequences are or were when you did that,. Brian says, Not really,. what is it for your kind ?,. Zeus says, Well it all depends on the circumstances and reason for one of my kind,. I could either Banish them for a short time from this place we call olympus or I could imprison them somewhere for a short time or I can even strip them of their powers for awhile too,. Brian says, I believe that I'm going to be permanently Banished from my kinds place in existence but I'll still have my powers,. Zeus says, Well you can come stay with me and my kind until we leave here to join your kind... I've already made up my mind and I'm going to accept that offer when your kind sends someone here to make that Offer to us,. Brian says, Well I can't say I wasn't the one who showed you the path to take... To bad I wont be able to see it threw, But Callisto does know of some of my plans and my uncle will see to it that she will carry them on for me,. But you have no Idea what its like for any of my kind once were completely cut off from our place in our existence and were completely alone... Even with my grate powers I'll be completely alone.. I'll ever be able to join with any of them again.. not even my own mother,. I'll just be roaming the universe for ever and ever by myself,. Zeus says, That's an awful high price to pay for doing what you'd done,. Brian thinks about it now and says, It was well worth it anyways... and If I had to do it again on a second chance I'd do it again,. Zeus ask, Why ?,. Brian says, Because then and even now I still believe it was the right thing for me to do.. That's is why,. Zeus ask, Theirs more to this too... Isn't their ?,. Brian says, Yes their is... their are others who agree with what I had done and are siding with me even thou I haven't asked for their help. Zeus says, Then their is some kind of risk or stake here then,. Brian says, Yes their is,.. I don't want to be the instigator of a full scale Civil War among my kind that may lead them all on both sides into their own destruction,. Zeus says, Then everything my Daughter told me must be true then,. Brian says, She most have reported everything back to you that I have said in front of her in the past,. Zeus says, well yes she did,... She can be quite gossipy from time to time,. Brian says, Anyways, I'm going to plead Guilty tomorrow on all charges except one.. for the Joining with Callisto that they charged me with if that makes any difference at all,. Zeus says, your going to do that with out even putting up a fight to save your own kind... Aren't you,. Brian says, Yes.. To save them from themselfs.. Either way If I wasn't found guilty the other side would be the starters of war so I'm caught all in between with out any other options this time,. It's either I do that and the one's siding with me will stand down and so will the other side and Just let the Elders banish me from the Continuum.. and get on with it afterwards,. Zeus ask, and what is that you have in mind ?,. Well first of all I'm going to do one or more things in this world then I'm going to ask my Uncle to enclose and imprison me so that I'm not aware of anything going on around me and I won't even be aware of it at all,. Zeus says, Your going to have him do that for you so you won't become something like what Callisto was or something like what you were before ?,. Brian says, Your right but before I leave here today,. I have a question for you now,. Zeus says, ok I'm ears youngman,. Brian says, I'd like to know why did you totally destroyed the Royal Golden Hinds ?,. Zeus says, Oh Ares had told me that you were upset when you found out about that.. Brian says, Not anymore because I realize at the time you did that... You weren't really thinking of other possibilities,. Zeus says, I realize my mistake now... and I'm truly sorry for my actions but the damage is already done,. Brian says, Well tell me what were you thinking about at the time when you did it,. Zeus says, I was thinking about mine and others of my kinds self preservation.. my Ex-Wife whos also a god was consolplating out a plan to get the Blood of the Hinds to use as a Weapon to destroy me and others here... So I thought If I destroy the Hinds I also was destroying her weapon... That's all I had in mind at the time.. I didn't have ill will or a grudge with the Hinds at all,. Then Brian says, Well after I'm banished form the Continuum and before I have my Uncle imprison me.. What would you do If I used my powers and restored all of the Royal Golden Hinds on this world ?,. Zeus says, Well if you did that I'd put them somewhere so that no one can get to them with out me knowing about it not even another God,. Brian says, That sounds good to me because even if this wasn't happening to me right now... I was going to do it anyways,. Zeus says, Theirs is more ?,. Brian says, Yes After you and the rest were to leave this world I was planing on taking Both the Hinds and the Centaurs along with a few humans to another place and time and world of their vary own.. and I still plan to carry out that part and I'll leave the rest up to Callisto now after I've restore the Hinds,. Zeus says, So whats the reason for that ?,. Brian says, Because even in the far future Both the Hinds and The Centaurs would be considered so Rare that no one not even the different races both friends and enemies in this time would even consider butchering them out of existence,. Zeus says, now all you have left to offer after your sentenced and have your Uncle send you off to oblivion for the rest of eternity is kindness... and you don't hold anything against anyone even the ones that are sided against you. Brian says, Its sometimes the way things are. and plus I want people like my mother to be proud of me and the way I have chosen to let it all end like this,. Meanwhile, Callisto has been sent by Brian's Uncle Q, At her request,. She appears outside Xena's house and Xena was just coming outside,. Xena says, Callisto I Knew you wouldn't be too far behind brian come on in and we will talk,. Later on Callisto has told them everything she knows and so have Xena and Gabrielle,. Xena ask, Callisto ware has brian gone to anyways,. Callisto says, I think he's with Zeus right now telling him about the changes of this mission of his that's going to be turned over to me once I've taken oath with the continuum they will make me one of them, I'll carry out and complete it where Brian had left off at, along with his uncle who's going to help guide me along with the rest of Zeus and the others,. Then Both out of no ware Brian and Zeus have appeared now, Zeus says, Well its about time I've finally get to meet the Great Warrior Princess and her friend Gabrielle again ?,. Xena says, Why Zeus whats on your mind,. Zeus looks at Brian and says, He's on my mind Xena,.. And both of us owe him more then one or two favors if you didn't know,. Xena says, Ok tell me what can I or we do.. And I'll consider it,. Zeus says, I want you to all along with me and Brian come and speak out on his behalf after he pleads Guilty on most of the charges against him,. Xena says, He's already made up his mind then and is going to except being banished forever from their,. Zeus says, That is right.. But after he pleads Guilty I along with you are going to speak on his behalf and tell them that such a sentence isn't proper in this case to be completely shut off and closed out from his own kind,. Callisto says, But you all might just be wasting you breath, They aren't going to listen to anyone who isn't one of them... Believe me I've spent some time with them... They... except for a few of them can be Quite stubborn at times... Even thou they are vary intelligent beings,. Zeus looks to Xena and she says, Well then that's what were counting on... I guess,. Zeus says, We will have to see,. I'll be ready Brian when you are ready to return to your continuum to take us all their along with you and he disappears,. During the night both Xena and Gabrielle along with Brian and Callisto talked about things other then this trial that he's been put on by his own kind,. then they went to sleep,. Xena slept with brian, he fell asleep right in her arms she held him until morning just like he was her own child,. Then the morning has come,. Xena got everyone up now,. When brian woke up he used his powers to make breakfast so every one had something to eat,. Afterwards Zeus appeared when Brian had told him to by this worlds time standards,. Brian says, Is everyone ready to be transported in to the Q continuum now ?,. and all say,. Yes were ready.. Xena says, lets go then,. and Brian uses his powers to transport everyone who's in this group into the Continuum. Later on after their arrival in the Q continuum they are now ware the Trial is being held at in a vary big colosseum, Thousands up on Thousands of Brian's people are sitting in on this Trial,. Xena and Gabrielle along with Callisto and Zeus and a few others including Solen have come with Brian to speak for him on his behalf after he enters his plea officially since yesterday he was brought up on official charges in a pretrial hearing and findings,. The head leader of the Council takes roll of the full members that preside on the council along with him and then enters Xena and the others that have come to give testimony on his behalf, and the Head of the Council notices that Zeus is also present here as both his peoples leader and also on Brian's behalf,. The head of the Counsel tells him he's sorry but everyone on the Counsel wishes the circumstances were different for their first time of actually meeting him. Zeus accepts their apologies in return,. Then the Leader of the counsel ask Brian to approach the podium, Brian does and he officially reads all of the Formal charges that have been brought up against him,. The leader Q ask brian to enter his plea,. Brain ask, "Sirs" I request that one Charge of my joining with a mortal be summarily dismissed for me Joining with Callisto since she's going to be taking the Oath to become a member of this continuum shortly later on,. The Leader looks at both sides of the Counsel and says, Ok Motion to dismiss that charge now all in favor raise your hands and say I',. and it passes Seven to One,. The leader then says, Charge formally dismissed now,. Brian of Q how do you Plead on the rest of the Charges bought against you ?,. Brian says, "Sirs" I hereby Plead Guilty on all counts and Charges against me,. Now Q's that were backing him at least half of them present are all now talking amongst them selfs and can't believe what Brain has just said,. The Leader says, Young Q are you sure of what your pleading to and the seriousness and also the Consequences that will come to you for Entering the Plea of Guilty as Charged ?,. Brian says, Yes I am Aware that I'm going to be sentenced as a disgrace along with Banishment from the Continuum,. The Leader says, Ok This Trail is adjourned until two hours from now,. Then we will take in character testimony before I pass on Sentencing,. Then Xena along with the rest of them including Brian are alone in some room away from the others,. Gabrielle says, Brian you really meant it and your not going to even put up a decent fight are you ?,. Brian says, A fight over what... I have in fact Violated One of our Top prime directives... I don't have any reservations about that at all,. Xena says, Their has to be another way for you to at least for you to keep from been permanently banished from here,. Brian says, That's up to the Leader of the Council still... But I don't think he even has another alternatives besides doing that either,. Zeus says, Are they ever known for making a reprieve of a sentence ?,. Brian says, I don't know... That's never been done Even my Uncle wasn't permanently Banished from here only for a wile not permanently like I'm going to be,. Xena says, But this isn't over until its over,. Brian says, your right,. Later on they are all giving Testimony of Brain's Character for the record and sentencing part of his trial,. Xena and Gabrielle have both told them about what he had done and how He had restored their Faith again by returning what they had both lost dearest to them both,. Then Zeus tells them about the times he had defeated both Hope and Dahoc from entering his world,. and how he had changed from tormenting others less powerful then he was and started helping others and then how he had helped come up with the cure for the Hinds poisoning of both of his son and Daughter,. Then they have entered all their character testimony into the records,. and now the Leader is ready to pass on sentencing now,. The leader says, I'm not at all happy about this myself either but Even I'm not above the Laws in this continuum nor is any member of it either,. But if we didn't have them their could be universal anarchy with out them,. But the fact that puzzles us all the most is that we aren't and haven't been able to actually confirm that this in fact did happen and take place,. So all of us are going by Statements made by others who were in fact present at the time,. and that's all I and the rest of us have to go on,. The leader says, I hope, I and the rest of us do have all the facts together here today and Were not making a mistake.... Brian of Q do you have anything to deny in the statements or testimony that has been bought up anytime in this Trial ?,. Brian says, "Sirs" I don't have anything to dispute that's been stated or said about me or my actions... Other then the facts are, I did... and have Blatantly defied A Prime Directive on five counts,. Three of the persons I bought back are present here right now,. and also I did Violate Blatantly the laws of Joining with humans to share knowledge... I have nothing to dispute about any of the Charges or facts,.. And I still and always will believe that I have done the right thing by doing what I did... Not now nor will I ever believe that I did anything wrong,. Regardless of the Laws and Directives,. Then the Leader is getting ready now to sentence Brain for his Crimes but then a noise like a storm starts happening and the Skies have clouded up,. The Leader Says, Who is responsible for This I'm nor is anyone on this council is in the Mood to have some games played on us by another Q... I their fore order the one causing this to happened to stop it now.... Or face Charges of obstructing this Trails Legal Proceedings,. But it doesn't stop instead the rain is starting to come pouring down,. All the Q's who are in an open arena are trying to transport themselfs out into cover,. Then you here shouts over shouts My Powers aren't working,. Then the Leader trys to transport himself out and his powers have failed also,. Brian steps down and goes over next to Xena and the rest of his friends and says, It isn't me causing this to happened.. Zeus says, My powers aren't functioning either and he only smiles and says, Well were soon going to find out who or what is responsible for this look at the Sky its opening up now,. Then a Giant transport like flash happens the rain stops and a Woman has appeared before the Council of leaders of the Q Continuum,. The Woman says, Greetings My children... I'm sorry to have interrupted your powers for a short period... But I needed to some how get your attention,. The Leader of the Council says, What Q are you.. I don't recognize you,. The Woman says, I'm one of the First in this Continuum one of the founders of this place,. The Leader says, But no one here has heard from any of first since ages and eon's long ago,. She transports him down next to her and tells him to put his hand on her upper chest and to look to her soul now,. and sense her powers,. He does and he says, Oh My... I nor did anyone here has meant to offend you today "Grate Q" Mam,. She says, That's alright I quite understand none of you would recognize any of the first of your kind by now anyways,. The leader ask.. Have we done something here that's got your attention ?,. Then Solen along with the Centaur Know now that they have both seen this woman before in the afterlife,. Solen comes up and says, I remember seeing you before.. and Do you know who I am,. She looks at him and says, Of Course I know who you are your name is Solen and your Xena's son also,. And I remember me and you met the first time just after you had passed on into the afterlife the first time,. Solen says, Then you are part of the heavens and eternity its self then,. The Woman says, No I only do some minor work here and their for all of our one and only Creator of all life as anyone here knows it,. But No I'm not the one and only God of existence its self... Only do work for them,. Then she returns The leader to his place at his seat and then says, I was one of the first to preside on that Council and I'm hereby informing you all to drop all charges against this Q who is also known as Brian among the Mortals. The Leader says, But "Mam" He's broken one of our most strictest laws that the first themselfs had written,. She says, and You among with others Were wondering why you couldn't use any of your powers to confirm it... Well I'm the one who's responsible for seeing to that,. And I have been the unexplained force working behind everything that has gone on since just before Brian had joined with the Humans so they could see into each others souls and minds,. The Leader says, But I don't understand why, you along with the others had made that one of our highest prime directives for this place in existence,. She says, It applies for every one here except Brian and it will even apply to him again once his mission is completed,. But you will maintain and keep your own words not to interfere with or hold Brian accountable for any of his actions during this mission,. If you do go ahead and Banish him from here... I shall surely take it into account that Continuum and the Ruling Council of it are in defiance with the ones who had started this continuum along with being in defiance with the creator of existence its self. The Leader says, Ok,. but what If We do go ahead and Sentence him to permanent banishment from here ?,. She says, Then I shall along with the other founders here will banish every Q's powers in this continuum and you'll no longer have any powers to leave this place to go out and see the universe nor will you be the considered the Gate keepers in the cross roads of existence any more,. The Leaders along with the Council members have agreed to drop all charges and maintain their words of non interference of brian's mission,. The Woman has taken Brian along with Xena and the others back to Earth in Xena's time period,. Brian thanks this Woman now,. And she Joins with him to give him further instructions so he may complete his mission so that she'll no longer have to keep influencing him nor have to guide him anymore,. Brian after the Joining says, I've never ever felt a presents like yours before,. and that's even when I've joined with some of the oldest among the Q's,. She says, Because I'm much more wiser and older then what I appear to be,... I was part of the first one's who had built the Continuum long long ago,. before any of the Elders their were even born,. Zeus ask, "Mam" Is it true then, I am, along with the others of my kind are one of two family's that had broken away from each other long ago, That makes us related to both you and Brian by long lost roots,. She says, Yes you are an off shoot of the Original family one sought out Knowledge wile the other continued on to pursue and seek out humans or mortals to worship them as Gods,. We were once like that until one side of the family got the Idea to move on and seek out other things,. Zeus goes over to her and motions to her and ask, Can I take a sense of your powers and presents ?,. She looks and says, Go ahead I know that you seek to confirm what has been said and you must know for sure because your still uncertain,. Zeus then places his hands on her upper chest and can sense both her powers and presents and is astonished by what he's sensed from her,. and then discontinues it,. Zeus says. I can sense that your also one of my kind and also what Brian is and something else too,. She says, Yes you sense what I was before we had evolved on to what Brian is now and also what I am currently,. Xena says, Are you telling him that what you were before still remains with in you ?,. The Woman says, Yes all that I was before still remains with in me as each involvement stage past by the other still remained with in us,. Zeus says, Then its kind of like a map or part of the chain to put it in simple terms,. She says, That's about the easiest way to explain something as complexed subject as this is, But is close enough,. She looks over at Xena and Gabrielle and says, With out your two's help that time when Brian had been tormenting you and the others and lost his powers in the process, If You along with the others would have destroyed him.. I'd still be searching for someone to pick for this mission that I have been guiding him into,. Xena and Gabrielle look at each other and Xena says, You mean to say that he's the one you had chosen for this... Why ?,. The Woman says, Actually he got more then I intended at the time from you both.. But I've been looking for ages for someone to make contact with the other Family that we had lost contact with a vary long time ago and Welcome them into the Continuum that's been a long proven success,. And also time on this world is starting to run out for Zeus and the others here and they needed to be opened up to other possibilities beside;'s having mortals worship them as Gods,. Gabrielle says, I think it has something in this time to do with the one and only God of the Israelites... Doesn't it ?,. She says, Yes as a matter of fact it vary much does.. and They have to be taken to somewhere else besides this world one way or the other... Soon They will no longer be able to stay here in it,. Xena says, Then what we suspected all along was right.. That the one God Can't allow others with God like powers to be in this world at the same time,. The Woman says, Yes that is in fact right Xena... Our Creator wants them off of this world to clear the way for his one and only Son,.... You and Gabrielle along with Brian have talked about it in the past and what he's said is correct.. But for now their is still more then a few years left before he has to have this mission completed,. Xena says, I think I can see yours and his reasons why,. She looks over to Callisto and says, Your mother and others in your family that are in the afterlife are becoming pleased with how you've changed and you have taken the first steps of what your getting ready to become,. Callisto is happy for her to have told her this and gets ready to ask... But the woman already knows what Callisto wants and then a flash happens and her Mother and Sister have appeared before them,. Callisto starts thanking her for bringing them here, even if its only for a short time,. The Woman says, Well I've got to be going myself now... Brian I trust you know how to send them back when they wish to be returned,. Brian says, Oh sure of course I'll be glad to do it for you,. And this Woman who was once one of the vary first Q's in the continuum disappears for parts unknown now,. Later on Brian wants to have some fun and play some tricks and Games on Xena and the others,. Brian says, Ah... I know what to do and he makes up a fantasy like his uncle did to picard from time to time,... He makes them think that they are still in the Real Centaur Village... But they aren't,. Even Ares how has just recently come doesn't know it either.. Brians has on his little evil grin .... Gabrielle notices this and brings it to Xena's attention now,. Gabrielle says, Brian the looks on your face are the same as a cat who has eaten the Canary,. Xena says, What are you up to ?,. Brian says, I want to show you a race of beings that rage havoc on people and they don't show emotions or have any regrets about doing it,. Xena says, Who are they ?,. Brian says, Its not who are they its what are they,.. Their Relentless.. Gabrielle shouts Brian NO!... But Brian snaps his fingers now and some really funny and vary strange looking beings have appeared now,. Xena says, They look like they have come straight out of Tartarus,. Then Ares comes over now,. And says, Brian what are this zombie looking people from that look like to me they are something out of Tartarus ?,. Brian says, Ask any of the twenty that I've brought here.. they will tell you who they are and what they are, and want to do,. Gabrielle is to First to ask one of them,. She says, Excuse me but who and what are you ?,. They one that has been examining everything around it says, We Are Borg... You will be Assimilated ?,. That Brian uses his powers so that he has something on the side of his head that's emitting a light out of it,. Brian walks over to it and says, Identify who I am and who you are ?,. The Drone says, You are Brian of Borg,. My designation is 12 of 20.. What are your commands ?,. Brian says, Scan the one their in the black with the sword and beard,. The Borg Drone does and reports I detect some kind of power source unknown to us and also some kind of augmentation with in him that's unknown to us.. He's much worthy of our assimilation of further knowledge and study of his kind,. Brian says, now Scan the half horse's and half human creature's over their and report to me ?,. The Drone scans the Centaurs and reports, They are Rare due to the fact no Borg has ever encountered them before ?,. We need more information on its kind... Brian of Borg do you have more information about this species ?,. Brian reports they are a vary rare kind the ones in this village are all that remain of their kind... Twelve of Twenty what are your recommendations or plan of actions against them ?,. The Borg Drone reports, They would be a vary interesting Species to add to our Borg Collective, but what you've reported as them been the last of their kind here, The Collective protocols don't recommend Assimilation of this Species at this time due to the fact we will be the Cause of this Species Extinction,. Xena says, I remember you talking about these things the first time you told us about them,. But I thought they were supposed to be completely Relentless ?,. Brian says, They are believe me but they also carry protocols within the Borg Collective... Like what you just heard him say... It prevents them from totally wiping off an entire race or Species,. Gabrielle and Xena,. But watch what happens when I give them the proper clearance protocols,. Brian says, Twelve of Twenty.. Our survival is imperative now,. Intact protocol override, Code: 9824-Delta-75 now,. Proper clearance code accepted,. We will assimilate one third of this Species for our survival now,. Brian says, also begin the Assimilation of the Humans in this village. All of them except for the ones that are in my company,. I'll see to it that they are Assimilated myself more efficiently later on,. The Drone ask, Why not now, their is no need for them to stand aside and watch others being assimilated, With apprehension and fear been assimilated themselfs afterwards,. Brian says, I still need them as individuals until the others have been assimilated,. Now carry out my orders now,. Then the Drone's all of the sudden come to life rather then just standing around idle,. They set off into the village and start Assimilating everyone in sight until they have the number of Centaurs that protocol will allow for them and they also are Assimilating the humans that live with the Centaurs too. Some of them attempt to Assimilate Ares who uses his powers to fight them off,.. Ares says, Zeus he has done something to us we can't teleport out of here to escape from them,. Gabrielle says, Brian why are do allowing this to happen ?,. Brian only starts laughs in return,. And says, I am Brian of Borg... You will be assimilated... resistance is futile,. Xena has started fighting along with the Centaurs and the others but is going to be defeated soon,. The borg are beginning to adapt to Ares Power bolts and the knifes and swords now,. Callisto now comes up to Brain and says, Why have you done this to them they are your friends... And friends don't do things like this to each other,. Brian smiles and says, Don't worry its going to work out fine... Believe me it will,. Callisto says, Ok but I don't understand why you have bought the Borg here into this time either... But I trust your intentions... Gabrielle has heard what Callisto just said,. Gabrielle says, Are you sure of his motives here,. Because I'm now uncertain of him now because of his actions,. Callisto says, I think were going to be fine... you must have faith,. Gabrielle starts thinking this over now and Has figured out that this isn't really happening at all,. That Brian is toying with everyone here now,. Shortly later on Xena is now not only fighting with the original Borg but also both the humans and the Centaurs that they have assimilated into their Group now,. Finally they have pined her down and she has now ware to run nor jump to,. Gabrielle runs up to Xena, and says, Xena don't resist them... They aren't real.. Only in illusion that Brain has created some how,. Then after Gabrielle said that Xena stopped fighting all together,. and a Drone then places its assimilation injector on her neck and injects her then all of the sudden they are ware they were before the Borg Drone's had appeared,. Xena and Ares and the others are looking all around but don't see any sight of the Borg and the Centaur Village is just going about its normal business as if nothing had happened,. Brian still has on the Borg equipment attached to his head thou,. Xena says, I don't understand we were almost defeated but yet I can't find a trace of it ever happening... How did you do that Brian... Because we can still remember it happening even thou their no evidence of it happening ?,. Gabrielle says, Xena think about what his Uncle and Mother did to us when we wanted to Kill one another,. Xena says, That was another from of illusia... Wasn't it ?,. Brian says, Yes in another form it was,. Xena then Hugs him and says, I couldn't believe that you were going to betray us nor could Gabrielle but you surely have just scared Tartarus out of all of us to why ?,. Brian says, How would you like for me to play that same trick on someone who really deserves it to be done on them ?,. Xena says, Well I don't know.. Gabrielle says, Brian are you returning now since you've been giving all the leeway and can do as you please down here or with this mission now... Are you going to start Tormenting others here in this world since you won't have to answer for it ?,. Xena thinks and says, Gabrielle I don't think he meant to torment us... He was only playing a joke even thou none of us care for it.. Their wasn't any real damage done except for our nerves been at edge... Brian what do you have in mind and Who do you want to pull this off on ?,. Ares says, We weren't even in a real village were we ?,. Brian says, No we weren't that's why you couldn't teleport out of their because we weren't even really in this world as you know it,. Ares says, Oh I understand why I couldn't get out because I couldn't direct myself to the proper place from their,.. I see,. Brian says, Ok Xena And Gabrielle, I and you know of someone in this world who deserves their just desserts for things this person has done to others including your self Xena,. Xena thinks about who could he be talking about and she says, I know who you want to pull this off on... Xena looks to Gabrielle and they both say his name at same time... "Caesar" Brian smiles and says, Yes... You know you two are vary smart when your in each others company... You know one day I might consider taking you two into the continuum so you both can become members of it,. But not now the two of you still have yet allot of things that still need to be done before that time will come,. Xena says, Well when you feel the time is right just let us both know and We will give it some serious thoughts and consideration when that time comes,. Brian says, Well please do give it some thoughts Xena and Gabrielle.. even before I offer you it.. I'll be more then happy to help Guide you during your transition period,. Xena looks to Gabrielle and they both smile at each other now,. Gabrielle says, Well you better remember telling us this because we might one day take you up on your offer,. Xena says, Me and Her both have vary good memory so don't forget about telling us this,. Xena says, Yeah why not Gabrielle.. Lets go play a few games with and on Caesar,. Ares ask, You don't mind if I ask if I can come tag along with you... I'd like to see his face when Brian makes him believe that them Borg things are taking his own people and turning them against him,. and he's on the verge of been totally defeated too. Brian says, Sure you can come along... I'm going to scare him so bad that I'll have him on his knees asking Xena for her forgiveness for some of the things he had done to her in the past,. Brian then Transports them into Roam right into Caesar's chambers,. Then they can hear a really big commotion going on outside... And all kinds of shouting every ware too,. Brian says, One of the Drone's has reported to me that Caesar is on his way into this room now.. they have him and a few others cornered down to here... I've instructed them to let him pass so He will come here,. Xena says, So what do you plan to do then ?,. First of all Caesar is allot more stubborn then I had originally thought, The Drones have reported that He's not taking advantage of the opening they have left open up to him,. Xena says, That sure enough sounds like Caesar to me... Thick-headed and stubborn,. Gabrielle smiles at Xena's comments she's just made,. Brian is in some kind of daze or it appears that way to Xena and Gabrielle also Ares,. Gabrielle says, Brian snap out of it,. Brian says, Hold on I'm trying to ascertain why Caesar hasn't made this move,.. Ahh I know he wants to turn and run in retreat that's why this small group is standing their grounds,. Xena says, Caesar in a retreat... How many of them Borg things did you bring here this time ?,. Brian says, Only Fifty Xena,. and they have multiplied since then,. Brian smiles and lets out a small laugh,. Gabrielle says, what is it.. Whats so funny brian,. Brian says, Caesar is ranting now... He's saying almost all of my guards and armies have almost been defeated right in the hart of Roam... and he's blaming the Gods like "Ares" for opening up the gates and letting out the Hounds from Tartarus to come after him,. That even made Ares laugh too,. Both Xena's and Gabrielle's faces are filled with Glee now over what Brian has just told them,. Oh well I think I've allowed the Borg Drones that I'm directing to have played and knocked Caesar around long enough.. Xena says, So what are you going to do,... Tell them to Assimilate him now ?,. Brian says, Why of course not... I'm going to instruct them to quit knocking him around and over take the one's that are protecting him and bring him to us now,. I'll tell them to bring a few of the others that are next to him also... for an example of whats going to happen to him much more slowly,. Then Brian uses his powers to change out both Xena's and Gabrielle's clothing now,. They look like some kind of leaders by the Clothing exstreamly beautiful dresses that only Queens and Princesses where in her world,. Xena and Gabrielle look themselfs over and Xena ask, What for ?,. Why Xena I'm making you appear as their leader along with me,. They have just captured Caesar and are bringing him here now as we speak,. Brian makes himself along with Ares so that they won't be seen by anyone now,.. Brian's voice says, Were still here. The Drones now Enter and have Caesar with them as a prisoner of theirs,. They force him to kneel down in front of Xena,. Caesar says, I should have known that you were some how behind all of this... What God is helping you out or should I say... What kind of God with powers like this is helping you out ... I know it couldn't be Ares or someone like that,. Xena says, No the person who's done this doesn't nor has ever made the claim of being a God nor has he ever asked to be worshipped as a god either,. Caesar says, Then it must be that friend of yours from another world that I've heard rumors about from some of our roman operatives then,.... If my information is right he goes by the name of Brian ?,. Xena says, Yes that's his name alright Pig,. Caesar says, I see so he's helped you out and he's going to let you have it all then.. Roam and everything else after it,... I know you... Xena you want it all don't you ?,. Xena says, You couldn't possibly know what I really want any more... Can you ?,. Then Brian and Ares appear again,. Brian says, Caesar she doesn't want your kingdom nor country... She wants something else that you couldn't ever possibly imagine from you,. Then Brian has one of the Borg Drones inject one of Caesar's Captains, he's instructed them not to give a full doze of the borg assimilation nanoprobes... So his assimilation process will take much more longer and will also be allot more painful during the assimilation process,. The man is now yelling out in complete pain from the shot of borg nanoprobes and two drones are restraining him wile Caesar is forced to watch the ever so slow process,. Brian explains to Caesar what is happening much more slowly then what he'd seen happen to the others,. Brian says, Go ahead and ask him how it feels and whats going on in his mind and body now,. That's what I'm going to have done to you vary soon,. Caesar says, I know your trying to get me to show fear and crawl down and cower before you... Well that isn't going to work with me... The worst You could do doesn't scare me.. Brian says, Ok then... and he tells the man who's slowly been assimilated to report and tell him how the process feels to him,. The man does,. But Caesar still isn't even phased by it and what the descriptions that the man was telling him how it felt like and now you could even see metal things slowly popping out of the mans skin now,. each one that comes out the man lets out a painful whimper,. But Caesar still maintains his composher.. and says, Is that going to be the worst of it before I myself am forced to become one of them Zombies of yours,. Brian says, Ok I can see I'm not getting threw to you with this,. But you have seen your entire nation begging to fall apart with in hours of been attacked,. and I know that has you Scared,. But Caesar will not admit to being frightened by it,. Finally Gabrielle ask Brian to stop this mans agony and torture now,. Since its not making a point to Caesar,. Brian instructs the Drones to inject him with the full amount of nanoprobes so the assimilation process will be over in less then a minute... and they do and the man is now transforming at a much faster pace,. less then a minute his individual is all gone,. Brian looks to Xena and Gabrielle and says, You know what I suspect that's wrong with Caesar don't you,. Gabrielle says, He doesn't have a hart like us, or someones filled him with total hate and disregard for others feelings.. Xena says, that's only part of it... He's been thought since he was vary young that others are for his enjoyment and use and once he's done with them to discard them, since their will always be others later on,. Like were only things that are totally disposable like something you only use a few times or once and you throe it away like a piece of garbage,. That's All I ever was to him and he hurt me not only physically but also Emotionally,. Brain says, Xena, which was worse for you the Physical pain or the Emotional pain he had caused you ?,. I already know but I want him to hear it himself,. Xena says, The Emotional Pain he had caused me.... was much more worse then the physical pain I could get over with easier, but not the emotional pain,. Brian says, how come ?,. Xena says, because I had loved him and he had betrayed me.. and all he showed me was coldness in return and all he wanted was to see me dead,. Xena shouts, Caesar, You Hurt me you bastard!,. Brian says, Xena,. Calm down now... Were going to show him how it felt for you.. I can even sense this mans coldness with out even been joined with him... So I'm not going to directly join with him,.. But I'd like for you to join with me now... I'm going to use my powers so he can sense the pain and the emotional hurt he had caused you long ago,... and plus the obsession it led you to,. Gabrielle ask, Why don't you join with him directly Brian ?,. Brian says, I don't want any part of him within me nor do I want any part of me with in him either... This man is an extereamly cold hearted person,.. As you would call it,. He looks over to Ares and says, He's much more worse then you ever have been,. Ares says, What ?, Your telling me he's worse then I've ever been,. How ?,. Brain says, The Man has no regrets or remorse for anything tearable that he's ever done to anyone in his lifetime,... That's why,. Ares gives it some thought and says, hmm I think you could be right about that,. Brian says, Believe me I am,. Brain then instructs the Borg Drones to put Caesar on a table and to have him tied down to it now.. And they do,. Then Brian says, Xena take my right wrist now so we may join and she does,. then a small like light appears on her hands that are holding on to Brains wrist,. Brian says, Ahh... Xena,.. I was right you do have such bitterness for him,... Xena says, I do,. Brian says, If we aren't careful with what were about to do here, you could use this to crush him mentally,. Xena smiles at that thought,.. Brian can sense Xena's essence with in him now as she can sense his,. Brian tells her but if we do that, what will he learn out of it ?,. Xena says, I don't think he'd learn anyways,. so what difference does it make,. Brian looks over to Gabrielle now and ask her to take his left hand wrist now,.. Xena says, Why do you want that ?,. Brain says, I need a balance here... you are vary strong willed person even for me,. and I need another who's also Strong willed to balance things out,. Gabrielle takes his wrist and the same thing happens as it has for Xena,. and they are now communicating with each other and can see into each others souls and minds just like the last time,. Brian tells them you can now feel what I can from him can't you.. and they both mentally say Yes,... Gabrielle says, Such coldness,.. and oh he's vary callus too... Brian says,. This isn't going to be vary easy either,. Xena says, Oh I see the point here now,.. The Best way to describe this, were going to give him a good emotional spanking,.. Gabrielle giggle's and so does Xena,. Brian says, Yes I guess that's what were going to call this.. Then Brian starts easing the mental and emotional forces of both Xena and Gabrielle along with him self on to Caesar now,. Caesar shouts, What is this... No!.. it can't be... Xena says to him mentally,... Oh yes it is... This is what you've done... now here's some more it,... and Xena apply's more onto him but then Gabrielle also counter balances Xena's rage, so Caesar won't be crushed by her will,. Caesar yells,.. Please no more... of this Please... then Gabrielle comes into what would be his soul and mind and says,. Oh now you understand what you've done... to others and you don't like the experience either, do you! ... That's to bad because this is your own doing here,. And then Xena begins exert more on to him now,. After a short time they have finally broken threw Caesar's callousness... And he's has starting to whimper now,. Brian talks to both Xena and Gabrielle mentally.. and says, See what I mean by begging careful here... He just required more time and patients that's all,. Then he directs Gabrielle to work on him now,. Show him the fear he'd caused you when he had captured you and wanted your legs broken,. And she starts sending them thoughts and emotions to him now,. and he continues whimpering more,. and then fear hits him like it never has in his entire lifetime,. Then after Gabrielle has done that, All that remains inside Caesar now is the emptiness and grief that both Xena and Gabrielle had from him in the past.. Nothing more,. Then both Brian and Gabrielle now sense some other emotions from Xena,. Brian says, that's strange they aren't hate anymore nor bitterness towards him ,. Gabrielle recognizes them right away... Gabrielle says, its love or some form of it,. Xena's holding off from answering either of them mentally,. Brian says, She still has that for him,. Gabrielle says, Xena that's been buried all this time deep inside of you, underneath all of the hate and bitterness all this time... Gabrielle continues, no wonder why you had such an obsession for him, after all this time all of them emotions mixed together were the driving force you had against him,. Xena says, yes but I can't share this with him, because later on after were gone from here... He'd figure out a way to use them against me.. if he's made aware of how I really feel,. Gabrielle says, Brian what should we do ?,. Brian says, Xena and Gabrielle look within yourselfs... and you'll both find the answers,. Xena says, I don't understand,. Brian says, Didn't you once show and teach me your compassion and humanity before,. Xena says, Yes we did.. But with him... Their's no way I can really tell if he's really sorry and being Sincere with me at the same time,. Brian says, but their is a way,. Gabrielle says, Are you suggesting a direct joining,. Brain says, No, not really,. I don't want him to see into me and have knowledge of me.. But their is another way, Xena,. Xena says, Ok then tell me... I'm willing to risk it now,. Brian says, Why Xena you now even realize that the Emptiness that you two have left him with could lead him into becoming even more harsh with others now... Can't you ?,. Xena says, Yes just like he made me become even more harsh on other people afterwards,. Brian says, Ok Xena, Take your other hand and place it on his upper chest just right below the neck and you'll have a stronger connection with him but not a direct joining with him... and he won't be able to deceive or lie to you either,. Xena then places her other hand on Caesar's upper chest, Caesar now can sense Xena's presents even more stronger then before,. And he believe's that she's come to torture him even more harder then what he just experienced,. And he has mentally curled himself up in a corner and is vary terrified of her now even stronger presents within him,. Caesar shouts, You want to cause me more pain and suffering don't you ?... Your not satisfied yet... and he cowers and says, mentally to her... Please no more of it... I'm sorry to have done what I had did to you in the past now,. Xena says, Caesar I can now sense if your being Sincere with me or not, right now your apology wasn't sincere at all you just don't want me to give you more... But you need more convincing still.. and she starts applying more of what he'd done to her in the past again,. and its even stronger now too,. Then shortly afterwards Caesar is totally sobbing now,. and says, Xena I know you must be really enjoying this.. Aren't you,. Xena says, What I'm I supposed to be enjoying here ?,. Caesar says, you inflicting all of your pain and grief that I had caused you... and seeing me whimper form it,. Xena mentally says, Yes at first I was enjoying doing this to you but not anymore,. Caesar is puzzled and ask,.. How come your not satisfied anymore.. doing this to me,. Xena says, I still haven't gotten threw to you, the point your supposed to learn here,.. Or you don't understand it do you ?,. Caesar says, I don't see any other point to learn here,.. Other then you can now inflect your emotional and other pains on to me,. Gabrielle and Brian can see whats going on and Gabrielle says, Xena's going to do what you didn't want her to do,. Brian says, I know what she's thinking Gabby,. Gabrielle says, She's going to try and crush him mentally.. Isn't she,. Brian says, Hold on you got to maintain your faith of our friend here... She's going to give him one more shot much more harder again,. And if this doesn't work out,.. I'll stop her short of doing that,. Gabrielle agrees now with brian and continues to stand-by and watch whats getting ready to unfold,. Xena starts to put all she can both mentally and emotionally on Caesar now,. and is almost starting to crush him totally with her vary own will,. Then Caesar lets out a sudden loud Yelp,. and starts saying something to Xena now,. Xena sees and hears this and suddenly stops applying her will onto him,. Caesar says, I'm sorry believe me I really am now,. can you ever forgive me for what I'd done to you in the past,. and he has totally broken down and is sobbing to her now,. Xena takes him into her arms now,. and says, Yes I can forgive you now for what you have done to me in the past finally,. Now that you've shared my pain that you've caused me,. and Xena now says, I can't help but wonder what has made you such a cold hearted and calloused person,. and she starts probing into his sole and mind now.. all the way back into his childhood,. And Xena sees it all now what went down with his parents, Caesar's father had been mean not only to him but also his mother he beat on her all the time and abused her,. Sometimes he would even beat on him,. Until one night finally Caesar's father had beaten his mother he loved dearest to death,. and that was the point that turned Caesar into such a cold person from that point on in his life,. Xena tells him... No wonder why your like you are... You've buried this grate pain deep within yourself for so long and that's why you've always been known as such a vary cold hearted person because you haven't been loved nor felt love ever since then.. Have you ?,. He says, yes, And I've been emotionally dead ever since that day that happened haven't I,. I always believed that when I did that to others it made me feel better about myself because I was making them feel the way I've always felt inside,. Xena says, It didn't fill that void within you,... no matter what ?,. Caesar says, Not really only for a short time, that's why I had to keep on doing it to others that came across my path and I had the opportunity over them to do it,. Xena says, Would you like to know something about me ?,. Caesar says, What would you like for me to know about you ?,. Xena says, If you don't mind having me share what I really have felt about you after all this time,. Caesar is thinking now and says, you want to show me more of your hate of me don't you,. Xena says, Well I don't exactly have that in mind,. but it is another emotion,.. that I've some how still have found within myself about you,. Caesar says, Ok.. I'm willing to take more punishment form you... You've brought me this far so how much further can you possibly go,. Xena then starts sharing her feelings of him that were buried underneath all her hate and bitterness of him,. Caesar is taken by surprise by Xena's true feelings of him,. and he becomes saddened by what he's just learned from her,. Caesar says, All this time and I didn't even suspect not even for a minute that you really loved me,. I thought you were just after me, for my powerful empire that's all,. Xena says, My hate and bitterness and love for you, is what drove my obsession of you all this time... At first I thought it was the vengeance that I wanted from you,... Until today,... When I was really and truly able to act it out on you,. My other feelings started surfacing after that,. Caesar says, But you also know this isn't possible either because you and I both know of my destiny now don't you ?,. Xena says, I know you still believe that one day you'll rule the world even now,. Caesar says, That's right but you have filled that emptiness within me... and I feel better now about myself as you do with yourself,. Xena says, Yes I'm glad to have been a part of you some where within yourself now,. And I don't love you the same way as I did many years ago.. but more like a brother or sister.. not as lovers anymore,. Caesar says, But I'm glad to have at least shared this with someone for the first time about what has really made me hurt inside and has made me what I am today,. Xena says, I understand that now.... and I don't think it will change you that much even my friend who's helped me make this possible even said something to that tone,. but I hope it does help you to show a little more compassion to others in future now,. Caesar says, that vary well might help me in that area,.. But I can't change myself over night either... and you know that all so well now,. Xena says, But their is always still that possibility too,. Caesar says, Yes their is that possibility that's open to me now,. Brian slowly starts terminating the Joining with Xena and Gabrielle now since everything has been put out in the open between them and Caesar,. Afterwards Xena takes as cloth and wipes Caesar's face clean of the tears he had on him. Caesar says, So what about them Zombies that your friend has brought somewhere out of Tartarus,. Xena says, Hmm good question for me too,. Caesar says, Do you plan to take over the world with them and my empire now,. Brian looks at the Borg Drones and thanks them for their big help here to day... and they all suddenly vanish the same way they had appeared,. Xena looks to Brian and says, Ok I think I know whats going to happen now,. Brain says, Caesar you will remember all of this taking place now,... But no one else will ever recall this happening to them nor any of the events that have taken place here today,. Caesar says, Then is this a dream or a bad nightmare that's happened to me,. Or is this something else... That hasn't happened to me yet,. Brian says, Yes it is and was vary real,. Its just that I've hidden the facts from others here of whats really happened to them with my powers,. Caesar says, Then what you just did has happened in one reality but not in another ?,. Brian says, yes in a sense it can be called that,. Caesar says, But why,... For her ?,. Brian says, Not only for her, But for the both of you, That's why,. Xena then give's Caesar a good hug and a small kiss now and says, We have to be leaving now,. Gabrielle ask,. How do you feel now,. Caesar says, Fine... in fact I feel good if not better inside now,. at least I don't have that void within me anymore.. Thank you both,. And Gabrielle says, that's good to hear that from you,. Caesar says, I guess its until next time we see each other again,. Xena says, Well that's another story that I don't have the time to get into... But I don't believe that me and you will come across each others paths again for a long time,. And Xena wishes him farewell,. And Brian takes xena, gabrielle and ares, Back to the Centaur Village now,. Callisto comes up along with her mother and sister now,. Callisto says, Brian you've been gone well over a day,.. So tell me what happened ?,. Brian says, Hmm I've got to pay more attention when I'm transporting around,.. I sometimes forget how important this worlds time is to Xena and Gabrielle,. Callisto ask instead now, Did Xena and Gabrielle get what they wanted from him ?,. Brian says, Well yes and no... It wasn't what she was first expecting it to be,. Callisto says, Xena please tell me what went on,. Xena says, Well to put it easy... I found out it wasn't what I really wanted to do to him,. Then Gabrielle says, Xena has finally been able to come to the truth, about her true feelings and what she really wanted from Caesar... and she got to see the truth about him also.. Callisto says, So Xena you understand him much better today then you did in the past ?,. Xena says, Yes... I know who and what has made him what he is today,. and Why he has to be like he is,. Callisto says, But I bet you feel better now about yourself too and have been able to put that burden he had caused you such a long time ago finally to rest,. Xena smiles and so does Gabrielle,. Xena says, Yes .. I have,. Brian says, I know from our last joining it was one thing you had kept deep within you for a vary long time,. Callisto says, Xena how do you feel now ?,. Xena says, I feel better now,. and I don't have that Beast inside me anymore... Its been filled with understanding now... Not the emptiness and pain anymore.... My Beast is gone,. Then Brian ask, Callisto are they ready to be returned back now ?,. Because we need to return back to the Continuum soon to complete a few things before you Take your Oath and become an official member of the Continuum,. Callisto's mother and sister says, Yes we weren't sure if you were going to return or not.. but yes were ready now,. Callisto along with her mother and sister wish her the best of luck ... Her mother says, My dear daughter keep up what your doing... I know it hasn't been easy for you... but It's going to pay off sooner or later believe me it will,. and they exchange hugs with her and even Brian now,. then they both motion for him to send and return them back into the afterlife again,. Brian does,. and they disappear into the other side,. Gabrielle ask, What we had done to Caesar could be considered as some kind of Crime among your kind... I could sense that within you Brian,. Brain looks at them both with a little embarrassment but says, Yes it is,.. Xena says, Explain it to us,. But Callisto knows what its considered among the Continuum,. Callisto says, Xena and Gabrielle,. The Q's consider that as a from of Rape,. Xena says, But how.. We didn't even touch him during that encounter ?,. Callisto says, But Brian allowed you to use himself as the tool to force yourselfs... Your emotions and so fourth against his will on to him,. Xena giggles about that,. and so does Gabrielle,. Xena says, Well brian you were right about one thing he did deserve that before we set off after him... Gabrielle says, Now he also knows what its like... Xena says, Yes he does now... In the past I'm sure he's physically forced himself onto more then just a few women,. Callisto says, Yes he sure has done that,. I bet someday he'll wake up and realize that two women have raped him,. Xena now give's it some serious thought now,.. And says, Yes we could call it Rape.. but I Can't exactly call it that either,. Gabrielle says, No.. that wasn't a Rape... Because a rape is about having power and control over another and nothing else afterwards,.... Gabrielle says, Xena what you said before we put ourselfs on to him is what exactly what is was,. She continues... You gave him a well deserved Spanking that he need to attempt to try and correct him,. Xena says, Yeah because I didn't really want to damage him only make him realize what he had done to me and others wasn't right,. Callisto now give's it a few thoughts and agrees with them and says, no it wasn't a rape... it was exactly that,. and continues on... theirs a really fine line between the two... because it can lead into abuse if its brought to.. or you go overboard with it,. Xena says, yeah and just how fine was that line today,. I was ready to even start abusing him if I had to... In order to make him realize what he had done to me,. Brian says, Well Xena you were only right at the vary Edge of that line.. but you didn't go over it either.. Once you were getting the results you wanted that's when you stopped doing it,. Xena says, yeah its kind of scary now that i'm looking back at it,. Gabrielle agrees.. but you didn't cross that point that's the most important thing,. Then Brian says, Well Me and Callisto have to return now back to the Continuum.. Its to bad we can't stay longer but I have to start getting her prepared for her Oath soon,. and complete other formalities with her before that,. and they all give each other hugs and kisses,. Xena and Gabrielle wish Callisto her best now,. Then Xena Gives Brian a really affectionate hug and a long and very intimate Kiss,. and says, well its good bye for now again,. Brain says, Oh next time you see me and her... She'll possess the same powers that I have,. Xena says, Well unlike you Brian... She'd have earned it rather then being born into it like you were,. Brian says, hmm.. I think your right... That's something I've overlooked ... I guess I've always kind of taken it for granted,. Xena says, But you have learned allot threw me and Gabrielle too,. Yes the both of you part a part of me,... We've shared what not vary many can say they have with others,. and then he and Callisto wish them Farewell until next time they meet again,. and Disappear back into the Q Continuum once more again,. Later past Dark both Xena and Gabrielle are sleeping outside they haven't done this since the last time Brian and Callisto had visited them,. They are both gazing off into the Stars again with all kinds of wonders about the Universe once more,. Gabrielle says, Xena do you think we will ever get to see some of that out their one day... In our life time ?,. Xena says, hmm with brian and soon to be Callisto with their powers theirs no telling about anything anymore... Maybe we might... and they both fall asleep and they both have dreams of what other worlds might be like some of this dream has been caused by some images that they had gotten from brian during their joining with him.. and they are both amazed by what their dreams are revealing to them on this night,.
